When I was 19 I met a couple completely self funded by dividends. My husband and I met with them and they talked us through their strategy.

Honestly almost 10 years later it hasn’t gotten us far. We have about 10k invested between a few etf and stocks. All focus on dividend reinvestment.

I see everyone talking about growth. So talk to me like I know nothing and please explain your strategy to investing and what’s you’re looking for.

We want to build wealth obviously and I’m happy to take some riskier moves for our future.

I’d also be interested in learning more about debt recycling? We’re still young and I’m determined to make solid moves now for future growth

Thank you!
